@sarobertson_ Hunter Biden??? The poster boy for grift & debauchery. Really?? Proof 'news' organizations place sensationalism over credibility.

@kinsellawarren Is this meant as sticker shock? Reality check, main street Canada is all too familiar with rampant food inflation. https://t.co/fU2csCyyVs

@alanfryermedia As the Vancouver housing and condo market has historically served as a major vehicle for international and domestic money laundering, widely documented as "snow washing", have journos asked Eby or Carney how they intend to prevent their bail out from benefiting money launderers?

Chaque mois au Canada, l’inflation alimentaire dépasse toujours l’inflation générale.

Pourquoi?https://t.co/pbynhD3NFx

[Sam Cooper @scoopercooper]

It’s about setting a floor on condo prices sold to Chinese buyers and assisting party donors. Anyone that believes this will move affordability? Can you explain why the unsold supply in massively rezoned and built out Vancouver hasn’t made homes connect with Canadian incomes?

Invest in the real economy.

@FoodProfessor It seems Carney is given to making claims not supported by empirical data.

[The Food Professor @FoodProfessor]

PM Carney claimed today Canada is now creating jobs at twice the rate of the United States...

Really? ⬇️

@sarobertson_ Why then is the US forecast of real GDP 3 times greater than Canada's GDP forecast?

I don't get it.
Liberals chastise Conservatives who go to Washington to try and improve relations with the current admin.
But Carney keeps meeting with opponents of Trump and for Liberals this is good.
I'm all for cross border relations, but pick a lane.

“Buying European submarines when the most likely threat vector is in the Pacific with China or in the Arctic approaches through the Bering Strait would be a premier example of misevaluating Canada’s geopolitical position as well as that of its erstwhile allies.

Given the threats and challenges, as well as the country’s limited economic resources, it is absolutely essential that Ottawa correctly evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of each potential partner and ally and invests in each accordingly, whether it be Asia, Europe, or the United States,” writes MLI Senior Fellow Richard Shimooka (@ShimookaR).

@globeandmail Compare & contrast. 'Consensus forecast for U.S. economic growth in 2026 points to a trend-like expansion, with real GDP projected to grow between 1.9% and 2.3%'. Note the US forecast is a measure of real GDP, not a misleading nominal GDP forecast.

@sarobertson_ "We're in the process of becoming...". Did any of the journos present drill down on the exact timeline needed for Canada to become an alternative to China as a supplier of critical minerals? Or are Carney's media sessions just opportunities to create unchallenged sound bites?

[The Food Professor @FoodProfessor]

In a matter of days, the Canadian dollar could fall below US$0.70 again—roughly where it stood when Mark Carney became Prime Minister 15 months ago.

A weaker loonie makes imported food more expensive, putting even more pressure on food affordability.

Here are a few key economic indicators affecting food affordability since Mark Carney took office:

1⃣Food inflation: 3.2% → 3.8% (highest in the G7)
2⃣Employment rate: 60.9% → 60.7%
3⃣Federal deficit: $35.3B → $72B (larger deficits can weigh on the currency)
4⃣Household saving rate: 5.3% → 3.5% (less financial breathing room for the middle class)

These trends matter because they directly affect Canadians' purchasing power at the grocery store.

This is what economic pain looks like. Canadians chose this path in April 2025.
